Bahh, Steve. according to some a skunk is the essence of my being

Bill, you got yerself a debate here over the definition of a skunk. Your fishing report is something everyone agrees upon and is envious of. You had a day we are all hoping and waiting for!

A fishing report is just that--a report. People view them and move on. The question is the true motiviation behind the fishing report. If grown men are recounting their day and posting pictures to then get a thousand "attaboys", then they're the ones that need a psychologist--or a good ass kickin'.

This thread posed a question, which leads to discussion.

Maybe they could explain why a silly thread about a skunk or not a skunk gets more views and replies than a legitimate fishing report, at a time when fishing reports are scarce.

I have noticed a similar thing on another board when a member posts about how "whipped" he is, large numbers of guys want to read and comment on it.

The skunk thread was just a BS topic with no real significance--something to fill the time.

If fishing reports are read carefully, pics examined and the right questions asked, the discerning fishermen can learn plenty. I want to have discussions with the guys actually catching the fish. Keyboard experts may or may not actually know anything about catching fish.

This is the time of year on the Chesapeake when Bill's question is most pertinent. In another week or two some of us will be running and gunning looking for fish beneath gannets in the Bay. If I go out and run 75 miles (not unusual) and never drop a line, it only counts as a boat ride. Okay, maybe I'll call it a recon trip. But if I went to, say a WWD and fished for say four hours without a fish, that's a skunk. The skunk hurts a lot worse because then I think I had a chance and failed. If I don't see the birds, I don't think I had a shot.

If you go fishing and don't catch a fish, that is a skunk. Doesn't matter if you don't get a line wet or not. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a skunk once in a while.At least you tried............Gary
